"Service and MOT completed without incident and drama and by booking online was hassle free. Minor grumbles:
1. Received a text message the night before asking when I would be dropping off the car? Not really an issue but an irritation nevertheless
2. On dropping off & booking in attempts were made to sell me additional services. Very gentle and certainly non threatening but irritating
3. The cars were dropped off at 08:15 and I had to ring for a progress report at 16:00. I was give a time that the car would be ready and I turned up at the stated time. On both occassions the car was not ready and I was asked to wait for work to be be completed. Very irritating
Will probably use the garage again in the hope that the experience will be better next time"

"Took my car in for a service and MOT which was completed in good time. Finding that it had failed, the staff were excellent in telling me exactly what was wrong and what they would need to do to fix it - and did so on the day. Very helpful, very professional and good value."

"Easy collection from home allowing me to work from home. After an initial MOT fail, all the work needed to get it to pass was done quickly and to great standard and at a very reasonable price too. Russell kept me informed as to the issues and how much it would cost right from the start.
The car now drives superbly well and I have peace of mind that it's been properly serviced and repaired and I now have a perfectly clean MOT for a year!
Thank you all at Fergussons, I will be back!"

What is a diagnostic check?

Today’s vehicles are manufactured with complex interrelated electronic systems. On-board computers continuously monitor and store information concerning the performance of these systems. If you see a warning light on the dashboard, this is because the computer has sensed a signal from one of the systems or components which has gone outside of its normal operating range. This is when your vehicle needs to be plugged in for a diagnostic check.

Your garage will have the specialist equipment need to communicate with your car's electronics. It will show them details of any faults reported by the car, and help them to understand exactly what the problem is that is causing a warning light to come on. They can then tell you how serious the problem is (or not!), and what they will need to do to fix the problem.

About Smart

Smart Automobile is a company headquartered in Böblingen, Germany, that has marketed a range of microcar and subcompact vehicles. Marketed in 46 countries across Asia, North and South America, Africa, Australia and Europe, the design concept for the company's automobiles was first developed at Mercedes in the early 1970s and in the late 1980s. It was quite a lengthy gestation period, and the first model was finally launched by Daimler-Benz in 1998. Several variants on the original design have been introduced, with the original two-seater (called the Fortwo) now in its third generation and the Smart now being available as a fully electric offering.

The brand name Smart derives from its early cooperative studies with Swatch and Mercedes: Swatch Mercedes ART - although we have to say, it does make it a bit difficult to search online with a name like that! Overall, it is a very specialised company that builds ultra-compact cars, designed to carry up to four passengers through congested city streets with ease.
